Highlights

  • Savour mouth-watering delicacies crafted by Lynne while surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Great Barrier Reef.
  • Discover easy-to-follow cooking techniques that elevate your entertaining skills, even in remote locations.
  • Join morning and afternoon excursions to exotic spots, experiencing nature's wonders often seen only on the Discovery Channel.
  • Enjoy a unique blend of gourmet cooking and adventure, making every meal an unforgettable experience at sea.

Your hosts Lynne and John believe that fantastic food is the best accompaniment to the daily breathtaking wonders of nature experienced, so Lynne has published an online cook book (in response to decades of requests from guests) entitled “Gourmet Sailing….Delicious Dining on the Great Barrier Reef & other delights” which will give you an appreciation for both the meals enjoyed and also for the daily adventures experienced by all aboard.

Some chefs spend hours preparing difficult to follow recipes while others need a restaurant sized kitchen to cope but Lynne has the ability to produce mouth-watering delicacies in remote areas almost instantly because her daily duties also include guiding guests on morning and afternoon excursions to exotic locations that are usually only seen on the “Discovery Channel”!

To fulfil her duties as chef, tour guide and deckhand she has developed time saving techniques that she shares in easy to follow instructions that will enable you to entertain your friends and family with enviable results.
